Happy (Stylish) Matrimony: Jenny & Alex!

Are you dying of cuteness? Those bird toppers? Yep. Insane cuteness alert... unfortunately I can't take credit for those birds - they were made by the very talented bride, Jenny!

I just loved working with Jenny - she was a super cool and friendly bride with the cutest vision for her wedding: a gorgeous palette of grey and purple, mixed with that dang adorable little birdie theme. Her groom was a really cool dude too.

Jenny requested Earl Grey cupcakes, lemon cupcakes and dark chocolate cupcakes with a lavender colored vanilla buttercream rosette design - I did it all up in silver and purple cupcake liners, along with an Earl Grey flavoured cutting cake with the birdies perched (heehee) on top.

The wedding reception was held outdoors under a giant tent on the lawn at Hart House in Burnaby, BC - a gorgeous venue overlooking Deer Lake. Love that Ikea frosty/artful snowball globe light and the purple lanterns, and the lush, colorful flowers!

Thanks so much Jenny and Alex - I really enjoyed working with you - here's to a lifetime of fun and love!
